Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 302: In Grave Danger

He Yuzhen tightly grabbed Erdan, "How much are you willing to pay?"

She just wanted money; as long as she had money, she wouldn’t need to remarry Jiang Xingyong.

She had finally managed to escape from the mountain and naturally didn’t want to return. However, her family wouldn’t take her in. But if she had money, her family would surely change their attitude and value her again.

"Whatever you say, as long as you hand over the child safely!" Xu Qinghuan said.

"Five hundred!" He Yuzhen quoted a price, which was the dowry Jiang Xingye had given to Xu Qinghuan before.

She knew Xu Qinghuan definitely had more than this amount, but Xu spent money lavishly; if it was too much, Xu Qinghuan wouldn’t be willing to give it. She wanted money, not to break off negotiations with Xu Qinghuan.

"Okay!" Xu Qinghuan took out a wad of large bills from her pocket, waved them at He Yuzhen, and put them in a cloth bag,

"Put Erdan over here, not on the cliff edge. If anything happens to him, not only will you not get any money, you’ll have trouble. Do you understand?"

He Yuzhen stared at the wad of large bills, her eyes glued to it. She placed Erdan in front of her, holding his shoulders, while she had her back to the cliff.

Xu Qinghuan used a stick to lift the cloth bag, tying the rope in the middle and extending it toward her.

He Yuzhen reached out to grab it but quickly withdrew, not allowing He Yuzhen to take it, "Let’s make it clear, when I hand you the stick, you release Erdan as you grab the stick."

Xu Qinghuan then said to Erdan, "Erdan, when your mom lets go of you, run over quickly, okay?"

With tears in his eyes, Erdan nodded, looking at Xu Qinghuan as if she were a savior.

After agreeing, Xu Qinghuan extended the stick again. He Yuzhen, unsuspecting, grabbed the stick and released Erdan simultaneously. Erdan dashed over to Xu Qinghuan.

Xu Qinghuan dropped the stick and hugged him tightly, "Don’t cry, don’t be scared, it’s all over, it’s okay now."

Erdan was so scared that he cried loudly.

Jiang Xingye worried that he’d get snot and tears all over Xu Qinghuan, so he gently pulled him away, "What’s the matter, don’t cry."

Erdan hiccupped as he cried, "Sob sob, she lied to me, she lied to me, she said she’d buy me something yummy."

Xu Qinghuan dug out a few candies from her pocket and handed them to him, "In the future, if you want something tasty, tell your uncle or me, but don’t be fooled again."

Jiang Xingyong came over, guilt-ridden, and said to Xu Qinghuan, "I will definitely pay you back the five hundred."

"Yes, five hundred, that woman really dared to ask for it."

"Xu, the educated youth, actually gave it to her."

"What else could she do, stand by and watch her throw the child down? She’s a biological mother, indeed heartless."

He Yuzhen happily untied the rope from the stick and opened the bag to look inside.

Xu Qinghuan pushed Jiang Xingye, "Take Erdan and leave."

Jiang Xingye glanced at He Yuzhen and, without a word, turned and left with Erdan in his arms. Behind him, He Yuzhen screamed piercingly, "Xu Qinghuan, you deceived me, you dared to deceive me."

Inside wasn’t a wad of large bills but a lunch box containing two big meat buns.

There was really nothing else to put in; otherwise, Xu Qinghuan wouldn’t have bothered to put two meat buns in.

"What if I did deceive you?" Xu Qinghuan sneered coldly, "He Yuzhen, if it weren’t for worries about affecting Dan and Erdan, your actions would warrant being locked up."

"Exactly, that damned woman dared to come back."

"The filthy cheat."

"Hahaha, didn’t she come back looking for Dong Mantang? Didn’t she say she married Ye Quanguai, who’s better than Dong Mantang?"

Within the crowd, Zhang Wenyan glared fiercely at He Yuzhen, as the sarcasm of the community members stabbed at her nerves.

Once upon a time, she truly considered He Yuzhen a good friend. He Yuzhen told her how horrible the Jiang Family members were and how they bullied her, said Jiang Xingyong disliked her and never touched her.

She sympathized with He Yuzhen, feeling Jiang Xingyong was too unreasonable. Since they were married, why not live life properly without lingering over past issues?

"Xu Qinghuan, don’t go, dare you leave..."

He Yuzhen charged at Xu Qinghuan, Jiang Xingyong gave her a push, shielding Xu Qinghuan behind him.

She fell to the ground, right beside Zhang Wenyan’s feet.

He Yuzhen looked up and saw the murderous look in Zhang Wenyan’s eyes, and she panicked, scooting backward, "It wasn’t me, Dong Mantang seduced me, it was Dong Mantang, she forced me, don’t come after me, go find Dong Mantang."

Zhang Wenyan screamed "Ah" and lunged at her, "You filthy whore, you disgusting creep, why don’t you go to hell, go to hell!"

The two wrestled and gradually moved toward the cliff’s edge.

"Hey, come back, you’re about to fall off, don’t go over, stop fighting!"

The male members dared not intervene, and Jiang Xingyong wanted no part of it, hoping He Yuzhen would fall and die so he wouldn’t be involved, directly rushing downhill.

Xu Qinghuan walked slower, hearing the crowd’s shouts, she promptly turned back to climb up and see.

Dong Mantang went to stop his wife, Zhang Wenyan was forcefully restrained, and as she was dragged backward, He Yuzhen took the opportunity to scratch a few claws over her face.

Zhang Wenyan was raging mad, but she couldn’t fight back, desperately struggling forward, kicking at He Yuzhen, dragging Dong Mantang forward with her, while Zhang Wenyan’s kick missed He Yuzhen.

"Aiya, Mantang, aren’t you going to help your wife? Don’t favor outsiders."

Dong Mantang seemed afraid that Zhang Wenyan would be pulled off the cliff by He Yuzhen; he was far from favoring the outsiders.

The people around were also making sarcastic comments, Zhang Wenyan was furious, she knew better than anyone why Dong Mantang acted this way, He Yuzhen had become a filthy waste, and her man, in front of everyone, still protected her. How could she cope?

She angrily cried and cursed, "Just because you slept with her a few times, you like her so much, let her be your wife, go ahead, divorce me and marry her."

Dong Mantang was furious.

She struggled and kicked He Yuzhen, and Dong Mantang suddenly let go, Zhang Wenyan charged forward, crashing right into He Yuzhen, causing her to lean back and tumble off the cliff.

While Dong Mantang managed to catch Zhang Wenyan.

He Yuzhen fell like a butterfly towards the bottom of the cliff, her screams echoed through the valley, deafening everyone’s ears.

The cliff top became calm, the people and scenery formed a frozen picture.

Dong Mantang’s hand released, and Zhang Wenyan sat down on the ground, staring at the cliff like she’d lost her mind.

Someone shouted, "He Yuzhen fell off the cliff, quick, save her!"

The crowd finally rushed downhill, several young strong men darted down the slope and then rounded towards the cliff side.

Xu Qinghuan hurried to find Jiang Xingye, who had already returned with Erdan. Zhou Guizhi was holding him, crying, and the old man and woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks to Huanhuan this time, otherwise it’s hard to say what would have happened." The old woman said.

Zhou Guizhi instructed Tian Jinhua to prepare some food, "Have Huanhuan stay for dinner at home."

Tian Jinhua responded with an "Alright," preparing to head to the kitchen, Xu Qinghuan raced back, "Grandpa, grandma, aunt, something bad happened near the cliff."
